You used to live with me at night after the bars were closed,
And your smile would obstruct my line of sight, and leave my heart exposed,
And all I'd want, all I want is you girl,
To know me, to hold me, to take up my whole mind,

Oh, but you're getting smaller

Then I could hold you in my palm, the palm of my hand
And your hair would wrap around my thumb, like a wedding band,
In dreams, we'd kiss, we'd kiss just like before,
With full lips, and pressed hips, up against the door

Oh, but you're getting smaller

You were all I wanted,
I was overwhelmed,
And I swore that I was feeling things I'd never felt,
An empty nightstand,
A packed suitcase,
With every day that passes,
you become a name with no face,

And now you live between my soul,
and my heart, my brain, my mind,
My blood, my bones, but even so,
girl I often find, that I,
I can't recall the way you were,
Your eyelids, your sweet voice, your features fade away

Oh, you're getting smaller
The space inside my mind where you live is getting smaller
Oh, you're getting smaller
